android MediaPlayer - illegalstateException on MediaPlayer

I have the following piece of code.
ex:

 if(player1 != null){
    if(player1.isPlaying()){ //check if it playing
        //other code

    }
    }

QUESTION 1:
The condition check for null always passes even though the media player as finished playing and i release the player on oncompletion. //release on completion of the player

player1.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
                    @Override
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    mp.release();
                    Log.d(TAG, "Media player has completed playing");

                }
            });

QUESTION 2:
IF the player HAS finished playing, a check for null still returns false and it fails as isPlaying giving an illegalstateexception.

Releasing the player doesnt nullify the instance. Add null after release if thats what you want.

player1.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
                    @Override
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    mp.release();
                    mp = null;
                    Log.d(TAG, "Media player has completed playing");

                }
            });
